Gran Teatro Cervantes

Cultural center, museum, conference center and library in the heart of the old medina is housed in the only historic landmark of the United States located abroad. The museum exhibits a large collection of art and historical items. It also has a Paul Bowles Wing dedicated to the writer and composer who lived most of his adult life in Tangier. (Morocco was the first country to recognize the United States, in December 1777 with the hope of promoting commerce with the new republic. This act by the Moroccan sultan was the first public recognition of the U.S. by a head of state.).

An art museum, or maybe rather an archive related to the history of Tangier opened in 1930 in a former synagogue. In addition to art, there are newspapers, photographs and posters on display.

A large lively park-like square just southwest of the medina. Next to it there's the Sidi Bou Abib Mosque. Go to the souk on Thursday or Sunday mornings to see the Rif mountain women in their colourful costumes selling their produce and dairy products all along the wall of the St. Andrew's Church (English Church).

Built in 1917 and decorated with polychrome tiles, this is the mosque right next to the grand socco.

Built by the Spanish in the 1870s in modernist style, this is the main place of worship for Tangier's Christian community.

Museum showcasing Moroccan modern art, mostly traveling exhibitions.
